We were assigned to be "helpers" for the Don Campbell Band at the beginning of the event. Other than fetching a couple of water bottles and assisting with the break down of some tripod stands, we didn't do much in the way of helping. But we had front row seats in the visitors dugout and really enjoyed the music.
And while we were in the dugout, the girls couldn't help but snoop around.
"Wow, that's a lot of toilet paper mom," said G.
Yeah I thought, why do they need that much with a team full of guys?
The big crowd pleaser of the night was Shane O'Brien, winning the homerun derby and scoring some runs during the softball game. At one point he did what looked more like a hockey move than a baseball one when running to third base covered by a Bruins player. There was definitely some blocking by the Bruins guy and some checking done by O'Brien. The kids thought that was hysterical.
There were lots of Pirates fans in the stands and L. chatted it up with a couple we sat next to at a playoff game in May.
We had agreed to take pictures for the new Seen Team and THAT was a lot of fun. We even caught up with Slugger and Salty Pete.
But the kids seemed most excited about the Lori Voornas autographed baseball they got (they love the Q radio station). There were a ton of photos on my camera this morning of her and Shane O'Brien on the field. Although I decided to spare everyone the play by play with just a couple of shots for the Seen gallery.
So our volunteer activity turned out to be a lot more FUN than work and the kids didn't mind that one bit.
